Day 7 Uff Da!

We are fearfully and wonderfully made as Psalm 139 reminds us... when our body rebels and we ache or whatever it always seem to surprise us. Why now? Why this? So it was late this afternoon...surprise! You're human...slow down.

So I am getting ready close the day remembering how I might have seen God sightings/Surprises today. I am going to give thanks for what I believe to be just such events:
Judy C just 2 weeks post op standing and smiling in the worship center...wow!
Two emails about Breanna telling of unfortunate events yet going to be ok...Thank you, Jesus.
Jan's praise report!
An Exec Team that can get things done without the ailing pastor present.
Staff that care about others and hug them when they come in to the office to say hello.
A loving wife, who is a precious gift to me. (I definitely married up!)
Wonderful kids who are trying to find a time to get together to celebrate Valentine's Day around Dad's schedule.
A report of illness in another's family that seems impossible and breaks everyone's heart yet they are rallying around to help. (God draws us together often through adversity. God strengthens us as we live through adversity.)

Some one has said that the bad thing about life is that it is so daily...
Yet it is in the "daily-ness" of our lives God makes God's heart and character known to us.
Keep your eyes on the "daily-ness"...there are God Surprises waiting to be discovered.
Pastor T
